Nice episode, quite restful in the first part and with a lot of action in the second.
The actions scenes were really breathtaking but I found that the CGI wasn't well integrated. All the sets were really colorful.
Also I have the bad feeling of being pushed in a universe without much more of explanation.

Another great episode.
It seems Macross Zero is best Macross since original SDF.

Really? Oh, this is bad.
At this moment I've seen all Macross (except Macross Frontier and last episodes of Zero) and I still hope Frontier will be at least better than '7' and 'Plus'.

Fairly bland episode, except for the awakened "treasure"... kind of curious as to what that was.

Nice underwater scenes and with Mao too! She really swims like a fish. :)

I like the way before and during the underwater battle, Shin put to good use of adapting tactics on what he learned by simple observation of nature, i.e. the behavior of the flying fish and the octopus.

The scene where a single shell/bullet struck the reactive armor at an angle and then the whole armor plate ejected was cool! XD I don't know why myself but five seconds after that same plate armor was shed and the rest of entire reactive armor was gone as well, I was less interested. :P
You see there's no need to wonder where your god is,
Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy.

They should have focused on something more important instead of a pointless diving scene. Unless he actually picks Mao over Sara.

Agreed. Not sure how old she really is but it definitely seems a little weird.

5/5

Big mess! Narrative full of bullets and unexpected, that whirlwind of feelings and action. By a strong plot that accelerated history, interesting finish. Macross but it is music, so I want more! * _ *
Now you I like the series, as a technique of animation and still poor compared to today's levels as CG, but the animations are fluid and remains almost breathless throughout the clash.
This time the story I was totally involved! : D

You are not serious are you? "Macross plus" is the most appreciated piece within the Macross Francise among the fans. I also think that way. MAcross 7 can't even get near to Macross Plus, and zero is better than plus but can't say it is better than Plus. I didn't watch Frontier aside from it if i had to make a list from the best to worst it would be like this:

Macross Original Tv Series
Macross Plus+Movie(I am not sure if original or the plus is better, but since original series extremely exceeded my expectations i have gone for it, but Plus has most beautiful art and most orderly organised scenario in the whole series)
Macross Movie: Do you remember love?
Macross Zero
Macross 7 plus(specials)
Macross 7 dynimate
Macross 7 encore
Macross 7(this series really need to be finished in 27 episodes, 49 episodes is too long to keep up tension and thrill high enough to entertain the audiance)
Macross II(no matter what Macross II is the worst in the whole francise, except for its drawings it has got nothing to talk about.)

Oh no

Not a bipolar series again

It suddenly goes from good to bad and bad to good

Looks like Macross just ain't Macross if Ishiguro Noboru ain't directing it

Maybe I should just stop watching Macross right now before Frontier truly disappoints me........and it's a shame because they got Kanno Youko

So I guess the Mao's underwater treasure had a "deculture moment" when it saw Mao and Shin kissing much like the Zentradi in the original series.

Great episode with awesome fighting choreography, more character relationships and evolving mystery. I wonder who was that alien-looking personality briefly shown on TV. And I have a feeling that the giant eye was awakened by Sara's singing. It also seems like she saw Mao and Shin "kiss" through that eye o_o

Was Mao injured enough to carry out an "operation" with blood? Wasn't she just shocked? Hmmm. Blood-taking scenes really gave me chills >_<

This episode's ED is performed by Mao's seiyuu, btw.

UPD: the "alien on TV" is Arjuna (from another show by Kawamori)

By the way, Edgar has the same last name as Claudia lol. Relatives or coincidence?

I think insensitivity is a running theme in Macross Zero. Also, that television program was in Thai. So I guess Mayan Island is somewhere in an island in Southeast Asia. I was thinking that, but I wasn't sure if it was ever actually stated.

Also, there we go. Now everything is on fire.
